* Also on the Newport front, as promised last week, here are links to more reviews of the recently released box set Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4:

"So instead of being wall-to-wall necessary, this Bootleg Series edition is simply three-quarters-revelatory. But what is legitimately new here is as good as anything else in the Davis-rarity series." - Seth Colter Walls, Pitchfork

"Perhaps no other recording better illustrates how Miles Davis bridged the gap between jazz’s old guard and its younger visionaries." - John Paul, PopMatters

"This is another excellent archival boxed set from Columbia’s seemingly bottomless archive of Miles Davis recordings. The music is simply extraordinary and the packaging is fine as well with solid liner notes and discography and wonderful photographs." - Tim Niland, Music and More
